Huh? AFAIK, TOS is the ROM code that was the Atari
equivalent to the PC
GEM AES (application environment services) as well as some
other low-level
support routines.
Well, this comes from reading, and not from first hand experience,
so I could bw wrong, as always. (Not that I'm always wrong, but I
could be... ;)
I thought that they were supposed to have used a good chunk of CP/M
source in creating TOS, though.

If you'd like to readup more on the Atari ST architecture, GEM, AES and
DRI's role with Atari and TOS, go to the Atari History Museum Technical
Documents Archives, here's a link directly into the Atari 16/32 bit Systems
section:
